Coordinated with design and production at a maquiladora in Tijuana, Mexico, to support a new manufacturing operation that builds ceramic high-power RF packages for the wireless communications industry. Improved communication between Design and Manufacturing in a multinational environment.Manufacturing Operations• Devised routings, authored related design documentation, and designed tooling for prototype and product manufacturing. Reviewed customer drawings to verify that the production processes met customer specifications. Implemented a design review system. • Decreased prototype lead time with a standardized lead frame and brazing fixture design.Project Management• Coordinated a bi-weekly meeting to review new designs for manufacturability and quality issues.• Provided regular status reports on packaging development projects and process improvement activities.• Led and participated in multi-discipline teams to resolve quality, scheduling, or manufacturing problems.• Provided leadership in implementing changes to eliminate packaging-related failures.

Designed weather-resistant packaging for electronics and RF components using aluminum chassis and sheet metal in the construction of the camera housings and thermal management and condensation control techniques for electronic devices. Camera pan and tilt design, Periscope camera design. • Completed detailed drawings of parts and assemblies using Pro-E Wildfire 2.0 according to ASME Y14.100 standards. Created bills of material and processed engineering change requests.• Reduced cost of camera pan and tilt design by 30% with new cost effective design.• Lead designer on successful NPI launch of Large periscope camera.
